Hi all,
finally I managed to take a few pictures of "Scooter".
With flash at night :-(.
Scooter is a (I think so by looking in its eyes) S. bandensis.
I got it some days ago from a LFS, which ordered a bunch of S.bandensis eggs from a stocklist and got Scooter with about 2.5" length instead.
A year ago, I split my coral(SPS) fragtanks from my livingroom-reef and built a separate system with some 65gal and a 120 tank in the basement.
Scooter has it's own 65gal tank with LR and some Hermits/Snails now.
It's still hidden (sleeping) at day and active at night.
Maybe that's because there is still the 250w MH above the tank, that was fine for the prior kept SPS?
Do you think it will come out at day, if I replace it with some bulbs about half of that wattage?
It feeds well on living Palaemonetes varians shrimps, which I try to breed at the moment. (Started that last week in a barrel).
It ate the first dead one last night. Hope it will get used to that.
Having bred freshwater fish and also Clownfish, I would be happy to get some eggs in the future. There are a lot of people around, that'd like to keep their own cuttles. Would be great to have two genetic different lines and cross-bread.
Well, don't know if this will really happen, but in the moment I would be glad to "sacrifice" the other basement tanks to them .
